From the Paper:

"Explaining and critiquing Judith Butler's notion of gender as performance requires examining her article, "Subjects of Sex/Gender/Desire" and comparing her views to those of other feminists and sociologists. Butler's (1990) notion of gender as performance is fascinating, is based on her interpretations of philosophers such as Michael Foucault and Friedrich Nietzsche, and consists of advocating that women challenge the language of internalization by compelling "their bodies to signify the law as their very essence, style, and necessity."
